THREE Dressage Ireland-affiliated shows were staged last Sunday, with the focus being on the Leinster Region fixture at CoilÓg, where the final of this year’s DAFM dressage autumn development series was held.

Mark Ruddock, chairman of DI and a List 1 judge with British Dressage, assessed those forward in each of the five horse classes, most of which were notable not just for some high scores, but also the margin of victory recorded by the winners over their rivals.
